    The U.S. actually holds legitimate elections where a new top leader in elected every four years -- and at most a President will be in office a maximum of eight years. How long have dictators Putin and Luka been in power?

  2. General Armageddon is missing.

    This type of thing was discussed back when he was fired. The point was that Putin was building a large cadre of disgruntled senior commanders who had been canned or demoted (including the Black Sea Fleet Commander) and that that would come back to bite him eventually. That does not confirm this current scenario, but one can acknowledge the Putin has created a landscape where it could easily occur.

    Remember also what I said a few days ago, which was that General Jack Keene said that he had intel that said that Prigo was expecting the support of one or more of the generals when he reached Moscow but then he got word that the general/s pooped out for some reason- either they were outed or they chickened out.




    Top Russian general who knew about mutiny plot now missing amid rumors of ‘interrogation’

    The top Russian military leader thought to have had advance knowledge of the weekend’s armed mutiny has reportedly gone missing amid rumors he’s being interrogated for possible “complicity in the rebellion.”

    Gen. Sergei Surovikin, the ruthless one-time leader of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was last seen telling the Wagner Group mercenaries to stop their uprising in an uncomfortable appeal likened to “a hostage video.”

    “Surovikin has not been seen since Saturday,” when that video was filmed, according to the well-connected Rybar Telegram channel.

    “It is not known for certain where General Armageddon is located,” the outlet said, using the nickname linked to Surovikin’s fearsome reputation.

    “There is a version that he is under interrogation,” the outlet noted.

  7. You're not making a great deal of sense here.

    No need to throw other countries into the mix and create strawman arguments, so let's restrict this to the USA and Russia.

    Your initial outrageous statement was that the USA will "go down swinging long before Russia", but you failed to come forth with a plausible argument other than the USA being a divided country.

    And just to make this more entertaining. Using your definition of success, and feel free to get creative, are you saying Russia is a more successful country than the US then?

  9. Yeh, well, we have seen this movie before. Pro-Soviet clowns arguing the Khruschev "we will bury you and the United States is about to fall" routine.

    Fast foward a few years and half the Soviet Union is clamoring to join NATO.
